The guy is so biased it's not even funny and because of it, so completely untrustworthy.

he was also asking Pelosi questions in a way to get her to say that Obama blew up the deal with Boehner.

he also only asked questions about cutting programs, seeming to be against tax increases of any kind.

wow.

i've never seen him like this.

weigh in on his facebook page if you can.

first thought was how was he going to treat her? She's a Dem afterall..no respect for her.

How's Nancy handling him?

but still...

Charlie is pushing the idea that Obama blew up the deal with Boehner, not the other way around.

And Charlie is accepting NO OTHER ANSWERS.

people nationwide admire the first three (Woodward, Russert, Brokaw) for some reason or another.
And all of them became major best selling authors and were looked on so favorably.

Yet you don't hear much from Woodward's better half in watergate-Bernstein.

Now, I have said this before
there was a reason the breadcrumbs dropped by "Deep Throat" were only seen and followed by Woodward

and not Bernstein. While their name was on everything together, I always back then wondered why this most important piece of Watergate's puzzle was only seen by Woodward.

I no longer wonder. I also will not pay a penny to buy any book he writes.

Then there are the Dan Rather's out there-who for the most part are not admired anymore, and who do not get quoted by others in the media.

it is a shame who is favored and who is shamed.

Charlie Rose is on CBS. The home of Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
that in 2012 one no longer can ask any questions in the mainstream media and take a hack like Bob (Sellout) Woodward who has infiltrated the mainstream without question.

Yet the words of say, Dan Rather were questioned, when Dan Never Lied To Me.

but Bob, Tim and Tom did.

to paraphrase Paul Simon (c)
"where have you gone Edward R. Murrow(or Dan Rather)...a nation turns it's lonely eyes on you...
